PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipe is durable
for extreme temperatures (hot or cold) and is well adapted for
temperatures below freezing up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
PEX is a goodplumbing
materialbecause
it is flexible,
resistant to breaks in cold weather, and is has fewer joints.
PEX water piping is often preferred rather than copper water piping
since several conditions cause copper pipes to corrode resulting in leaking joints, pinhole
leaks, and the result can be extensive structural damage. PEX is
quieter than copper piping since PEX does not have the hissing sound
nor water hammering.

Advantages of PEX:

Adaptable and
easy-to-use plumbing system

Can be used with hot and cold water

Can also be used with metal and PVC piping

PEX has fewer fittings, making it faster to
install and with
less of a chance to leak

PEX is more burst-resistant due to its
flexibility to expand
and contract

PEX can have a pressure balanced system

and since PEX is flexible the pipes can be bent
around most corners and usually won't need a coupling, or fitting
and the result is less fittings and more water volume than copper
pipes.
